Raw Milk: History

Three Most Interesting Points:
  1.  WAIT WAIT WAIT. Fecal soiling of the udder?

Excuse me.

            That is disgusting. Also, it might be because I have always disliked warm milk, but this      
            whole thing seems so incredulous to me. I keep imagining people drinking the milk 
            straight from the cow, and it just … ugh. Ew. Not for me, that’s all I can say.

2.       Although it isn’t exactly scientific, the fact that infection was found only in people drinking raw milk, and no infection was found in the children drinking pasteurized milk seems to be pretty indicative of a problem with drinking something produced for baby cows with their baby cow immunities that baby humans don’t really have.


They're pretty defenseless, is what I'm saying.

3.   I was actually looking up strange items on the black market a while ago for an article I’m pitching to Cracked.com.

Remember these guys?

            And I came across illegal cheese and milk. I didn't have enough sources to see if it was a 

            legitimately wacky entry, but I'm convinced now. The fact that people will continue to drink 
            and distribute this stuff after it’s been outlawed and after it's been hinted that it's probably 
            going to make you sick is baffling to me. It cannot simply be that delicious, can it??

Question: What makes people continue to drink raw milk even after hearing that it can be dangerous?
